With Michaelson

Spain are rebuilding under coach Luis Enrique following a forgettable Fifa World Cup some three months ago, where the Spaniards bombed out of the global spectacle in the round of 16.

They have now won three games on the spin, including a 6-0 thrashing of World Cup finalists Croatia and resume their Uefa Nations League campaign at home against England tonight.

With a 100% record in League A’s Group 4, they are in firm control of the pool.

Spain beat England 2-1 last month at Wembley Stadium and the odds are heavily stacked against Gareth Southgate’s men, considering Spain’s rampant form. They have not tasted defeat on home soil since going down 1-0 to Georgia in an international friendly in June 2016.

Yes, Enrique is likely to some day lose as head coach of the Spaniards but it is unlikely he will see his perfect start thwarted by England. Spain should take the points tonight.
